I never really thought that I was a numbers person.

I am, I’m a creative, really, I’m a writer and a graphic designer.

My business has gone, has evolved over the years. And it hit a spot recently where it just wasn’t as profitable as I wanted it to be.

I tend to be an under estimator. It’s gonna take less time than I thought.

Think it’s gonna take, I can get that done fast. It’s just a big frustration. And you go around and around. And you wish that you feel like you’re not getting back what you’re putting into your business.

I’m really on my own.

My husband died like seven years ago. What it means for me is my, it’s my livelihood. I love Jamie Trull. 

I just think she is so genuine and personal and honest.

The one thing about Financial Fitness Formula that was unique. That I haven’t gotten in any other programs, is Jamie’s like love of spreadsheets. 

Feedback for the Financial Fitness Formula™ Program

My favorite part about having the spreadsheets is that they organize me. And the one that helped me the most is on pricing and profitability, so I use that all the time.

Matter of fact, I was just working on a proposal today. Where I use that spreadsheet in order to make sure that the numbers were gonna be profitable. 

For me, what surprised me the most about Financial Formula was the community around it.

Because all of the people in the community were just so, they were so into it. And so excited about learning about their finances and moving their businesses forward.

It was absolutely worth all the time and money I invested in Financial, Fitness, Formula.

It’s already paid for itself over and over.

The fact that I’m paying myself more regularly and I am being able to forecast my income and my whole financial picture. it just gives me a real feeling of confidence and peace of mind.

That I’m doing things right.

And I just feel so much more empowered as a business owner.
